Ragman Roll

originally meant the “Statute of Rageman” (De Ragemannis), a legate of Scotland, who compelled all the clergy to give a true
account of their benefices, that they might be taxed at Rome
accordingly. Subsequently it was applied to the four great rolls of
parchment recording the acts of fealty and homage done by the Scotch
nobility to Edward I. in 1296; these four rolls consisted of
thirty-five pieces sewn together. The originals perished, but a record
of them is preserved in the Rolls House, Chancery Lane.
